Photo Resizer
Photo resizer is an a free tiny application (200kb) that will quickly resize all your photos, images and pictures in a single batch, so you can easily email them.
Update!
- Fixed a bug. Recomend everyone upgrade. You will get far better compression with this one.
- Uploaded a version with tif support. Adds an extra 200 Kb. The tifs are converted to JPEG's.
How does it work
Just place photo resizer into the directory that has your photos and double click. Thats it. All your original photos will be left untouched - Photo Resizer creates a directory called 'PR-Resized' with the resized images.

Advanced Options
Before running photoresizer will ask confirm if you want to proceed with processing photos. Holding either the Shift or Ctrl key and choosing "No" will drop you into an advanced options mode. Holding Ctrl lets you select a different folder to process
Holding Shift lets you control the compression and size settings in addition to the folder.
Why Photo Resizer
Because I had a lot of people emailing me photos directly from their digital camera. Photos which are 2MB in size...each! Imagine receiving about 50 of these a day. Also imagine the pain of the person who sent these. Aiiieee!
Hence to anyone who has asked "How do I resize my photos easily?" - I give you photo resizer!
